whats with all the hype everytime apple throws you some refreshed old tech? |
+1...I had a guy tell me yesterday that since only Apple has created hype over it's voice recon. feature, that everyone else must have had a pretty shitty version of it.
Granted, Siri COULD be the best voice recon. we've used on a phone to date...it could also be the worst. The problem is, without trying what else there is on the market, we can't come to a conclusion of saying what is and what isn't the best.
I had mentioned this in another thread earlier but what exactly is ground breaking about the 4S? It's really a matter of ignorance. Apple NOW has the ability to control their device with your voice...Many of us have had that feature for years now while many others have been oblivious to the feature even existing.
Apple has now allowed us to use voice to text...I've been using that since I purchased my Nexus One over a year ago (Pre-iPhone 4.) So that's certainly not a new feature.
Apple has now "caught up" to what other companies have been doing for YEARS...But what's the point in catching up? Obviously to catch the attention of the masses that are oblivious to this technology by using marketing. However, for the rest of us, I think we would like it if Apple didn't just catch up, but rather went the extra mile. Why bring out features just to have them become outdated in a month? We all know Apple is only going to release one phone a year, so it better be one that will stay ahead of the curve for at least, that time period.
